Neowise over Regensberg [Explored]

I spent a week in the beautiful Engadin valley in the eastern part of Switzerland, but unfortunately the cloud cover was too solid to do night photography.

 

After returning home, I was a bit tired from the drive and therefore decided to shoot comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) for a second time near my home. As it is now visible in the evening, I was able to capture the comet over the medieval town Regensberg, a composition that was not yet possible when I captured it for the first time.

 

I was pretty imperssed how much bigger and brighter the comet has grown within 10 days. Despite some high cirrus clouds, brightly illuminated by the light pollution of nearby Zurich, Neowise was clearly visible to the naked eye and in this image, the tail is spanning over 12°.
